The stable gnus package is 5.10.8 plus a patch.  The pre-release version
is the stable version plus an additional two patches.  ("pre-release"
and "stable" are with respect to XEmacs; they don't necessarily refer to
the upstream release level.)

As for it being outdated, well, hey, 5.10.8 is the latest stable
release, isn't it?  When 5.10.10 is released, I'll start work to update
the XEmacs package.
